In a separate incident, hundreds of police personnel in the Kafr Al-Sheikh governorate closed down the security directorate building and blocked traffic in front of it.

They demanded retribution for police officers killed and demanded security procedures be reconsidered to allow officers be armed; the demands come following several incidents where unknown assailants infiltrated peaceful protests and attacked police.

The protesting security forces also demanded better employment and living conditions. Security leaders in Kafr Al-Sheikh tried to negotiate with them and promised to forward their demands to Minister of Interior Mohamed Ibrahim.
